Man, Woman, and Humans: A New Way of Life

This book is a groundbreaker. It tackles fundamental issues facing humans, humankind, and humanity. Specifically, it examines man vs. woman, manhood vs. womanhood, manliness vs. womanliness, masculinity vs. femininity, and their interactive relationships through sex, pleasure, and intimacy. Being man or woman is a lifetime process. It involves the other party, his or her bodily nurturing, emotional resonating, spiritual cultivating, and daily life partnering. Being human actualizes itself in completeness and meaningfulness not at a time when man or woman each reaches his or her own independence or fullness, but rather in a space where man and woman copulate, cohabit, and coexist with one feeling inseparable from, indispensable to, and insecure without the other.

This book is a gravedigger. It follows marriage, family, kinship, and their evolutionary trajectories. While it acknowledges that these institutional factors and forces have made their indisputable contributions to human production, reproduction, and evolution, it finds that marriage, family, and kinship become increasingly disturbing, disruptive, and dysfunctional to man or woman being himself or herself, reproductive processes, childrearing and child development, social equity and unity, and human progress. It is time to end marriage as a socially sanctioned bond between man and woman. It is time to bury family and kinship as a historically formed bastion for children, youths, adults, and their development, growth, and expansion.

This book is a liberator. It unlocks wedlock. It dismantles family. It sends kinship to the graveyard. More than freeing, in the sense of no constraint, it inspires man and woman to seek each other here and now for pleasure and love. Higher than liberating, to the degree of no restriction, it encourages individuals to live by, for, and in themselves toward optimum individuality and ultimate actuality
